Approximately 400 people participated and more than double the goal was raised.
THUNDER BAY – On Wednesday, PDR Contracting handed over the largest cheque ever for the Thunder Bay Polar Bear Plunge.
“This event was the biggest we've had to date. The community support that showed up was astronomical and we couldn't be more proud of it. There were people there from morning to afternoon, cheering and clapping. It just shows that we can continue to grow this event and we hope for next year to grow it even more.”
“We had 15 people that came and everybody put in a big effort. And, I expect next year that we'll double the number of people we've got to partake in the Polar Bear Plunge for great organizations that are receiving the money.”
